At Mt. Monster, sole objective is to produce the best wines possible from unique vineyard site. Located in the Padthaway valley which is comprised of rich Terra Rosa soils the estate vineyard benefits from excellent sun exposure producing grapes of optimum flavour, colour and tannin development. The warm summer days are moderated each evening by coastal winds that cool the vines and result in a longer ripening period. This extended period allows for the grape tannins and seed to fully ripen prior to being harvested, thus creating wines that are rich and supple on the palate.
